Choosing the right gift can be stressful. Whether it's a birthday, special occasion or Christmas and be it your own child or not, you want to make sure that the gift you give is not only loved but is something that they don't already own.

The best thing about Hugs for Kids is that we have already scoured the globe for the very best things for kids and that is all we stock. But we admit that there's still quite a bit of it...

So here at Hugs HQ, we have looked at the data, watched the kids faces as they played with every new arrival and listened to our customers feedback to bring you the best of the best big ticket items...here's the top 10 surefire winners.

Wishbone Trike - a TIME Magazine Design 100 product. Wishbone Trike is a premium 3-in-1 ride-on recommended for babies and toddlers from 12 months to 6 years. The trike transforms from a low-to-the-ground push tricycle to a small balance bike to a large balance bike using the unique rotafixTM system. The Wishbone Trike is one of the smallest and the tallest balance bikes on the market and is made from 100% recycled plastic for maximum durability. From walking to a real bike - this is the only in-between you need.

Magna-Tiles make learning fun by getting children involved using a “hands-on” technique, allowing them to become critical thinkers through creative play. These unique tiles attract on all sides and combinations to create cubes, pyramids, unlimited geometric shapes, leading from two-dimensional to advanced 3-D thinking patterns. Magna-Tiles are colorful, well-sized and easy-to-use learning manipulatives. These tactile and inviting shapes stimulate young minds and provide hours of creative play. Children of all ages love Magna-Tiles.

It's 3 vehicles in 1 - classic wagon, soap-box racer and foot-to-floor car! The Wishbone Wagon brings the the past and the present together in this innovative heirloom toy. It adapts to suit every child, way and any day. Pull your gear or toddler to the beach with ease, take your friend for a ride or install the steering wheel, flip open the hatch and drive your very own "flintstone" car to the park. Then grab a helmet, close the hatch and race this soap-box cart downhill. Play hard.

All kids love helping in the kitchen so why not give them their very own? complete with sink and cupboard to clean up and pack everything away into. With two styles to choose from (either standalone oven or oven/sink combo), you'll find one to suit both space and budget. Built well and just the right height for most toddlers/young kids, this is an incredibly versatile pretend play station.

With three different colour schemes to choose from, the Wild Imagination Lamp shows a whimsical scene where the characters in the woods imagine their “fire fly” lit shadows as their true identity - how "THEY" see themselves and how they feel - not how everyone else sees them or thinks they feel.

It’s a rocker. It’s a ride-on. It’s your child’s best friend. With its innovative flipping mechanism, the Wishbone Flip transforms from rocker to ride-on in seconds. Watch your child experience the thrills of rocking themselves back and forth, the smiles getting bigger as the rocking gets wilder! And then watch their eye widen as you flip the legs and they get to scoot around the home under their own steam. Two breathtaking experiences in one.

Is there anything more adorable than seeing your child care for Dolly in the same way you care for her? It's a special thing to see, like looking in a mirror. Nothing could be cuter, except seeing Dolly settled in this beautifully perfect pram. These are the experiences that create beautiful memories, that begin as a child and last a lifetime.

A ride-on Truck - the perfect gift for a 2-3 years old boy or girl. Hours of fun combined with motor-skill learning - for years. This is a toy that both parents and children will love. Moover Trucks enable children to drive and transport things. When the child gets older, they gradually learn how to assemble and separate the dump truck– thereby strengthening the construction and gross motor skills.

This iconic wooden tram is painted with authentic colours and based on Melbourne's famous W-class tram. This wonderful creation comes complete with 12 wooden passengers and 2 uniformed tram conductors that have their own cabins on each end of the tram. It has wheels on the bottom (for pushing and zoom zooming) and the lid comes off the top for little hands to access the wooden passengers.

This swing converts from a baby swing to a toddler swing using the domed leg divider when your toddler is around 3 years old. This makes the swing suitable from approximate 6-months to 6 years (from when the baby can sit up unaided to the weight of 40kg/88lbs.) It is very easy to make the change between baby and toddler versions if you have both a baby and toddler in the home. The unusually long period you and your child can use this swing makes it excellent value for money.
